Reboot! Super Tuesday Resolves Little

title=In Support of Net Neutrality}
Clinton and Obama, for instance, are supporters of network neutrality, both signing on as co-sponsors of legislation to make it the law of the land.
Clinton buried her support in a site post largely taken from the Democrats' Innovation Agenda and said little more about it. Obama rolled out his technology platform at a splashy, quotable campaign stop at Google's
Mountain View,
Calif., headquarters, announcing, "I will take a backseat to no one in my commitment to network neutrality."

In the Nov. 14 appearance, Obama promised to "open up government and invite citizens in, while connecting all of
America to 21st century broadband. We could use technology to help achieve universal health care, to reach for a clean energy future and to ensure that young Americans can compete-and win-in the global economy."
If elected, Obama said, he would appoint the nation's first chief technology officer and declared his Federal Communications Commission chairman would be a true believer in network neutrality.

It was all enough to prompt
Clinton campaign workers to remind the media, "Hillary Clinton has been and continues to be a strong supporter of net neutrality."
The detailed tech pitch plays well with Obama's legions of supporters under 30 years of age, many of whom are the sons and daughters of
Clinton supporters. The Mommy Party is apparently quarrelling with its children, who have for a generation now known more about the Internet than their parents.
A whole lot more, actually, if you believe a recent poll by the Congressional Internet Advisory Caucus. Almost 40 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds surveyed thought they knew more about the Internet than the candidates, an entirely plausible notion.
Unlike previous presidential campaigns, these new, tech-savvy,
OMG political participants plan to vote this fall, potentially changing the dynamics of the campaigns. Already they are pouring out in record numbers for the primaries. In
Iowa, Obama grabbed 57 percent of the under 30 vote. In
New Hampshire he won 60 percent of those voters, and in
South Carolina the percentage climbed to 67 percent.
In November, eWEEK magazine wondered, "Campaigns are increasingly relying on digital media to get the messages out, but does it translate into more votes?"
As Super Tuesday came to a close, the answer appears to be yes.
